MEDICAL VEGETABLE SALVE.

Wgefitlgrtnle nfemt it it fljcsp itrttcrs 33mm nut uniting not at figs time TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, THOMAS L. UPTON, of Farmington, in the county of Marion, and State of West Virginia, have invented a new and useful Medical Yegetahle Salve; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full and accurate description of the materials constitutingmy salve, and the mode of compounding the same.

To enable others skilled in'the art to compound and use my invention, I will proceed to enumerate the several ingredients that enter into and the mode of compounding my salve.

To two pounds of dried root of Scroplzularia .Zflary Zwndz'm; I add two pounds of the top of the Erz'gcron Pltz'ladelphz'eumptn'o pounds of the inner bark of the Ulmus fulva, three pounds of Resina aZba, one quarter of a pound of um camphor, one quart of the Pimts balsamea, one pound of castile soap, two pounds of common rosin, three pounds of beeswax, and five pounds of, nrutton-tallow. The Scrophularz'a llIarg Zanolica is boiled thoroughly, and the woody portion withdreu'rn, while the remaining pulp is bruised finely, and after remaining in the liquor, which'has been reduced to about one gallon, the whole is strained through a coarse linen-cloth. The Ulmus fulva is prepared in like manner, leaving the mucilaginous liquid about one and a halt gallon. The Erzigcron Philadelphia/mt is also treated in the same manner, and strained, when the liquid is reduced to about two gallons. The remaining ingredients,l'tesinav albd, camphor, rosin, soap, beeswax, and tellow, are melted together over the fire in an iron.vessel, and when all are thoroughly dissolved, add the three prepared liquors, and boil the Whole to a. proper consistency, and before cooling add the Pinus balsamea, stirring the mass as long as it continues liquid, and when cool it is ready for use, and will be found highly efiicac'ious in relieving sores, sprains, bruises, and rheumatism.

What I claim as. my invention, and desire to secure-by Letters Patent, is-

The salve, consisting of the ingredients named, in about the proportions specified, and compounded sub stan-tially as and for the purposeset forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.

THOS. L. UPTON.
